Thanks, guys, for the encouraging words. Starting day six today. I stepped on the scale yesterday and was 5 pound lighter than I imagined. Today, another pound gone. I know the "experts" say to shoot for 1-2 pounds per week but I do not have the kind of patience to deprive myself day in and day out for such slow results. PLUS, I feel that what I am doing with this juice-fast is NOT deprivation and is in fact healing a liver and digestive organs that were not working properly. Because why else was I unable to lose weight no matter what healthy food I ate in moderate amounts? It just wasn't working. The juice-fast IS working, and I am so buzzed!
Also, it is a very cool experience. I can't help spouting off excitedly about it to friends and family, but in the end, it is happening inside me and is my own unique experience. I am definitely shooting for 19-20 days. That would bring me to the weekend after next, so I can break the fast at home on a Saturday.
BTW, experienced juice-fasters-- any advice about how to break it gently? Will I need to take some probiotics? What foods to start? Thanks in advance for any advice about this.

MoreThis is a reply to # 964,574Would you please tell me what type of juices you're drinking? I can't have anything with lots of sugar, but I would love to get on this juice thing? I like the ideal of helping to heal my organs, which desperately needs the aid? I doesn't matter which way you contact me, but I will leave the option open for you?

This is a reply to # 964,854Mostly I have been using carrots, beets, cukes, watermelon, apples, grapes. I haven't done much with greens (more about that below).
I made a delicious juice today from tomatoes and red peppers, cuke, a clove of garlic and some onion. Then I added a dash of olive oil. I was trying to make a "juice" version of gazpacho. It was yummy!
Later, I bought some kale. I have done much green juice and thought it would be good for me. So I juiced up the kale with a raw potato a clove of garlic and a bit of onion, and it was NASTY but I drank it anyway.
I am in my 6th day and having trouble with hunger for the first time since I started, but I am handling that by having small frequent servings of juice, lots of water, and leaving the house for a walk when necessary.
When you say you can't have sugar, I guess that would include freshly juiced fruit? That's too bad. What about carrots? They are the backbone of many a juice-fast, I understand.

This is a reply to # 964,574Be aware that a longer (over ten day) fast does take longer to break.
A classic break:
Eat one whole apple in the morning and a very SMALL bowl of raw veggie salad at lunch, and continue to drink your regular juices.
Second day, soak prunes or figs for breakfast, along with the soaking water. Small salad for lunch. Homemade vegetarian vegetable soup for dinner, minimal salt. Two apples eaten between meals. Continue to drink juices.
Third day same as second, but add a cup of plain yogurt and a few raw nuts. Increase salad at lunch, add a boiled or baked potato. Have a slice of good whole grain bread with a little butter with your soup for dinner, perhaps a small slice of cheese.
Continue Third day, gradually adding other foods (clean, healthy foods of course). Be sure to stay well hydrated.
Continue your break until your digestion is well established.
The classic vegetarian veggie soup is super easy to make, and I have eaten it for SIX MONTHS at a whack (breaking a 60 day fast) and STILL love it! Here's how I make mine:
Vegetarian Minestrone
Cut up three potatoes, four carrots, four stalks of celery. Cover with pure water and bring to a simmer. Simmer til ALMOST tender, then add a whole chopped onion, 2-3 cloves chopped fresh garlic, a can of diced tomatoes and a small can of tomato paste. Turn off heat and add frozen green beans and peas to stop cooking.
I like to sprinkle each bowl with cayenne pepper.
Provecho!

This is a reply to # 964,574Hello,
I'm buying this organic carrot juice from the store but I'm wandering if it's any good because pasteurizes. It sais it's a fast pasteurazation but still?
Thanks,
